Abstract

We give a complete characterization of those f:[0,1]Xf: [0,1] \to X (where XX is a Banach space which admits an equivalent Fr\'echet smooth norm) which allow an equivalent C2C^2 parametrization. For X=RX=\R, a characterization is well-known. However, even in the case X=R2X=\R^2, several quite new ideas are needed. Moreover, the very close case of parametrizations with a bounded second derivative is solved.
